About Active Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey is honey that is harvested from bees that collect pollen from the New Zealand Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium). It is known to have strong antibacterial properties and a distinctive flavour.

Most honeys are antibacterial in some respect. This antibacterial ability is mostly derived from Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), which comes from an enzyme, added by the bee. In the honey industry this is called "Peroxide Activity". Peroxide activity is delicate and unstable and can easily be destroyed by heat, light and water. However, in Manuka honey there is another, non peroxide, antiseptic agent that is much more robust and can remain active against certain bacteria after being exposed to heat, light and water. This unique, non-peroxide antiseptic agent can be tested for and measured in various ways including UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) , or MGOTM (Methylglyoxal).

Methylglyoxal measurement is a recent development, based on the discovery in 2006 that the naturally-occurring compound Methyglyoxal is the dominant anti-bacterial constituent in Manuka honey from New Zealand. The test for Methyglyoxal concentration uses highly-accurate and automated HPLC laboratory analysis. The number shows the tested concentration of Methyglyoxal mg/kg, ie MGO250+ has a concentration of more that 250mg of Methylglyoxal per kg of honey. (More than 100 mg/kg is the minimum necessary to kill all major bacteria types).
